Celeb hairdresser Nicky Clarke gives tips for cutting your own hair during coronavirus lockdown
BRITAIN’S most famous hairdresser Nicky Clarke is giving tips for cutting your own hair in the lockdown.
It comes after Government scientists said salons may be shut for six months.
He said: “Looking and feeling good is so important, especially now.
“Hair only grows half an inch a month — but that’s a lot over six months.
“So if you’re going to do it yourself, or get a partner to, do not use kitchen scissors.
“Go online and invest in a pair of thinning scissors, which are more idiot-proof.
“For men, less is more — if you’re using electric clippers, go a length longer than you usually would. You can always take more off, but you can’t put it on again.”
Most people have not been able to get their hair cut by a professional since March 23 when the country was put on lockdown.
Chief medical officer Chris Whitty has said the UK will likely have to live with some disruptive social measures for at least the rest of the year.
And celebrity stylist Nicky — who has been giving fans tutorials on his Instagram page — is understandably concerned about how salons can practise social distancing once they reopen.

Nicky added: “It is deeply worrying. “But unless we have some sort of Edward Scissorhand-style scissors, it will be very hard to keep two metres from clients.
“I don’t know what the answer is.”
